In Bangladesh if somebody wants to even think about rich food, it will go like korma, polau (pilaf), kalia in this order. I know all of us know how to cook kalia so Methi kalia will be bit different and interesting recipe for us.

Methi / fenugreek seeds has very unique flavour but don’t use too much of it which will turn your dish bitter. The recipe actually is for mutton. If you make with beef, use less ginger paste.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg small curry cut meat (beef/ mutton)

• 1 large onion sliced

• ½ cup onion paste

• 3 tablespoons ginger paste

• 1 tablespoon garlic paste

• 1tablespoon coriander powder

• 1 tablespoon chilli powder

• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1 teaspoon cumin powder(optional)

• 2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds paste

• 2″ cinnamon stick

• 1 bay leaf

• ½ cup oil

• Salt to taste

How to make:

1. Marinate meat with all spices (except onion sliced), 2 tablespoon oil and salt. Let it sits for at least half an hour.
